1. Interacting with Empathy: Migrant Narrative in the Context of Mobile Apps

   This paper explores two mobile app narratives that deal with the issue of
   perilous irregular migration, Survival (2017, Omnium Lab) and Bury me, my love
   (2017, The Pixel Hunt/Figs/Arte France). This paper explores the way in which
   the mobile app form lends itself to elevation of migrant narratives and explores
   the capacity of such works to generate empathy.

   The paper will analyse the way in which migration and its subjects are treated
   and placed into relation with the notion of the game. The paper will also address
   the comparison between game-style apps and other online modes whereby
   migrant experience is being represented, such as that of humanitarian
   photojournalism and portraiture as it arises in social media apps, such as
   Instagram.
